I guess the opening VO is supposed to be from Maggie's point of view, and she still thinks that Barnabas is a vampire that should be exposed and destroyed.

Barnabas and Willie return dispiritedly to the Old House after an unsuccessful search. Barnabas fully expects the police to arrive at any moment but is stoical and resigned, quite unlike the frantic Willie. (Sadly, though, Barnabas doesn’t make the same generous promise to Willie as he did to Julia.) They hear the expected knock on the door. But instead of the police, it's Joe, who says, I’m here to deliver a message: Maggie would like to see you at her house whenever it’s convenient but as soon as possible. Joe delivers his message with gentlemanly courtesy and leaves, but conceals himself to watch Barnabas and Willie go out. (The doors swing open after Willie follows Barnabas out.)

At the cottage, we get a glimpse of a sketch of Barnabas, which is described as a preliminary sketch for Sam's portrait of the present-day Barnabas. [The sketch looks as if it could have been made when Jonathan Frid was first cast as Barnabas (no pointy hair). Bob Costello provided all but the face of the original portrait of Barnabas, and this sketch may have provided the face. DS Wiki has a frame grab of the sketch here.] The peripatetic multicolor afghan lies across the sofa. Maggie greets Barnabas and Willie with her normal friendliness. She tells Barnabas, I found some sketches my father made for your portrait. I thought you might like to have them. Though completely baffled by her behavior, Barnabas accepts the drawings, even in this great crisis still the epitome of courtesy and good breeding. (Naomi would have been proud!) Maggie surprises them even more when she invites Willie to stop by.

Once he and Willie are outside, though, Barnabas comments, Only one other person could have erased Maggie’s memory when even Julia failed--Nicholas Blair. This is the second time that Blair has helped me. [The first time was when he restored Carolyn to life.] He must have some plan. Whatever it is, Barnabas muses, it must be diabolical (so to speak). But what could it be?.........

Professor Stokes lets himself into Adam’s old room in the West Wing, where he finds no trace of the former occupant. The damage Adam caused when he escaped from his room has been repaired. Perhaps Carolyn bribed Harry Johnson to do the work.

Apparently Carolyn doesn't remember that Adam was artificially created. Maybe she thinks he didn't say goodbye because she doesn't remember that either.

Yes, great scene with Willie and Maggie. Despite Maggie's defiant insistence that she wouldn't eat any food, Willie goes off to get some. David investigates the secret room and finds-- well, someone, just not who he expected.

Willie is about to leave the Old House with a bag of food when Stokes returns to report his failure to Barnabas, who isn’t home. Then the sudden wind comes up again, making Willie extremely nervous (the curtains billow even though the windows are shut). Typically, Stokes comments, Fascinating--very fascinating. We must be in the presence of an astral projection, he decides, really scaring Willie. The wind dies down, but Willie runs off anyway, leaving Stokes in the middle of the drawing room murmuring (typically), Fascinating...utterly fascinating.

All I can say about David's behavior is that his aunt has brought him up to mind his manners.

I sort of like the anagram, but probably only because I like Professor Stokes. It's a good chance for him to display his smarts, and Barn and Julia do need someone who's at least a step or two ahead of them. Maybe Nicholas thought that somebody (like Stokes) would recognize the name Danielle Roget right away, and the anagram is supposed to be an example of Nick's agile but twisted mind at work.

Someone (I wonder who) realized that Eve was going to be evil even before she came to life, because she's wearing a long, low-cut black lace dress and black high heels. MW does the feral smile thing very well.

Not one of my favorite episodes, just kind of dull except for the end. After various conversations, Adam leads Leona to the basement. She is wearing a white nightgown--just the thing to wear for a mind transplant.

But WELCOME MARIE WALLACE!

I'm pretty sure he knows about it by now but I've forgotten how he found out. He did hear Lang's tape, but that was in his infancy, so to speak.

Julia tries to leave the Old House in order to hypnotize Maggie, but Adam appears at the front door. With heavy irony, he orders Julia back into the drawing room and thanks Willie for making it possible for Carolyn to provide the life force. Now that we’re all here, Adam says, let’s go down together. Willie starts upstairs, Adam argues with him, Willie goes upstairs anyway. Adam says coldly, This house is full of liars. Barnabas tries to delay the experiment again, but Adam only gets angrier. He decides he’ll go upstairs for Carolyn and orders Barnabas and Julia to come. “Please,” he says with heavy sarcasm, noting, Professor Stokes told me that a gentleman never forgets his manners, even under great stress. Willie emerges on the landing with the rifle. (We actually see the landing at the top of the stairs for the first time since Sarah, wearing her favorite blue dress,  watched her big brother’s costume party long ago!) Barnabas and Julia and Adam have to remind Willie that Adam and Barnabas are linked. Adam comes up and easily gets the gun away from him. Barnabas tries to get Julia out of the house, but Adam aims the gun at her and tells her, No, Julia. My mate will be the first one outside that door, and I will follow her.

If she did, I didn't make a note of it. Maybe one of our colleagues who has the DVDs can help out.....
